The people of Idodo Zone in Amankanu Development Area, Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, have concluded plans to host a grand civic reception in honour of the Executive Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah (Anukaenyi I), in recognition of his leadership and developmental achievements across the state.
According to a statement issued by the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee of the event, the reception is scheduled to hold on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Amankanu Development Area Secretariat, Idodo Court, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
The organisers described the event as a historic homecoming celebration for Governor Mbah, whom they hailed as an illustrious son of Idodo Zone and a transformational leader whose administration has continued to deliver people-oriented projects across Enugu State.
The invitation, extended to sons and daughters of the zone, in-laws, friends, well-wishers, and members of the general public, noted that the reception would provide an opportunity for the people of Amankanu, Amechi Idodo, Owo, Oruku, and Ubahu communities to collectively express their appreciation for the governor's contributions to development and good governance.
The organisers highlighted several projects and programmes credited to the Mbah administration, including the establishment of Smart Schools, the free school feeding programme, free transportation for pupils, Primary Healthcare Centres, Smart Model Schools, rural road infrastructure, agricultural hubs, food silos, skill acquisition centres, sports facilities, rural electrification projects, security initiatives, and various empowerment programmes.
Particular mention was made of key road projects impacting the area, including the Owo–Ubahu–Amankanu–Ikem–Ogbodu Aba–Obollo Afor dual carriageway and the Amechi Idodo–Uzam–Amagunze rural access road, which the organisers said are opening up communities and boosting economic activities.
Describing Governor Mbah as "a rare gift" to Idodo Zone, Enugu State, and humanity, the organisers stated that the reception would serve as a platform to celebrate what they termed the numerous blessings and developmental milestones recorded under his administration.
They therefore called on residents, stakeholders, community leaders, youths, women groups, and supporters from within and outside the zone to turn out en masse for the event and join in welcoming the governor.
The statement concluded with a warm message of appreciation and welcome to the governor, commending his commitment to service and urging the people to continue supporting his vision for a more prosperous Enugu State.
The event is expected to attract political leaders, traditional rulers, community stakeholders, business leaders, youth organisations, women groups, and residents from across Nkanu East and beyond, making it one of the most significant gatherings in the area this year.
